Anybus Communicator - CC-Link IE Field
Integrate RS-232/422/485 based serial industrial equipment and devices into the CC-Link IE Field Control System without any changes to the devices. Simply connect and configure!
Anybus Communicator is a proven and trusted protocol converter gateway that connects non-connected industrial equipment and devices to the CC-Link IE Field. The gateway performs intelligent protocol conversion and presents the serial data to the host PLC/controller as easy-to-handle I/O data.
The Communicator is a slim standalone gateway designed for IP20 and DIN rail mounting and requires 24 Volt power.The Communicator has been conformance tested to the current CC-Link IE Field specification to ensure network compatibility.
Convert almost any type of serial protocols
Communicator is capable of converting almost any type of serial protocol, such as Modbus RTU, ASCII, DF1 or any other type of proprietary query/response or production/consumption protocol.
Typical Serial Applications
Typical serial applications include inverter drives, sensors, actuators, human-machine interfaces, barcode readers, RFID readers and industrial scales.
Description
I. Features and Benefits
- Convert virtually any RS-232/422/485 request/response or production/consumer protocol - e.g. Modbus RTU, ASCII, DF1 - in minutes.
- Pre-defined for Modbus RTU. Avoid the hassle of writing scripts and building serial Modbus frameworks with the 6-step Modbus RTU wizard.
- No hardware or software changes required for connected automation equipment
- PLC compatible with leading manufacturers such as Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider Electric, etc.
- Protocol switching is done by a manual operator, no PLC function block is required.
- Convenient save/load functionality means that completed configurations can be reused for many other installations.
- Includes “Anybus Configuration Manager” with flexible serial frame building capabilities.”
- Versions with dual-port switched Ethernet allow daisy-chaining and eliminate the need for external switches.
- Free worldwide technical support and consultation
II. Serial Functions
Advanced programming skills are not required to set up Anybus® Communicator, as configuration is done using the included, easy-to-use Windows™-based ACM (Anybus Configuration Manager).
- Optional RS-232/422/485 interface
- Predefined 6-step Modbus-RTU configuration wizard
- Optional pre-loading of DF1 commands. No scripting or serial frame construction required!
- Ability to configure ASCII or vendor-specific protocols (request/response or production/consumption through a visual framework construction interface)
- Multi-language support for English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Polish, Russian, Chinese and Japanese.
- Convenient save/load feature allows completed configurations to be reused in many other installations
- Password protection prevents unauthorized configuration uploads and downloads
